Only parts I…read morewish was different was more communication from the day of coordinator, we felt rushed, and missed out on a lot of my photos because we were behind somehow. I totally get it being a timeline for things but I would of rather gave up certain parts so that I could get photos I paid a lot of money for. The photographer and day of coordinator often bickered a lot, it made me uncomfortable. I also felt rushed to get out of the building at 9 even tho we had clean up until 11 I appreciated the hard work assembling the new tent since it was damaged, wish I was told before hand so I understood before feeling overwhelmed. But super thankful. Overall, I got married in a beautiful place. Thanks so much Ralph.

Ernie Claeson was exceptional as our wedding officiant for our August 30th wedding at Rocky Hill…read moreEvents in White Salmon. From our very first call with him, we felt a warmth and kindness that put us at ease and made our decision to hire him so clear and easy to make. Ernie was organized, communicative, punctual, and on top of everything leading up to our wedding. On the wedding day, he delivered a heartfelt ceremony and message that resonated with us as the couple and our families. Our planning meeting in his office in Beaverton was so helpful and detailed. He asked a lot of questions and really sought to better understand us as people and as a couple. He really captured our story in the ceremony script and allowed us to shine on such an important day. He was a calming presence and voice, and you can tell he truly loves his job and cares about working with his couples. Would 10/10 recommend him and we want to sincerely thank Ernie and EC Matrimony for giving us the wedding ceremony of our dreams!

Ernie officiated our marriage ceremony on September 1, 2022, and he was incredible to work with…read more First, he was very communicative via email and text. He took the time to discuss our wedding over the phone, educating us on different nuances, like handfasting, and walked us through what to expect on the big day step by step. He also prepared a wedding script for us to follow during the ceremony and sent it to us in advance. Lastly, he was open to our suggestions about the wedding location (the beautiful Jenkins Estate) and arrived there on time. Even though it was a small reception, Ernie, being a popular choice in the area, still agreed to participate and made us feel well cared for. We wholeheartedly recommend hiring Ernie for your wedding, big or small. His attention to detail and exceptional oratory skills will undoubtedly make your day even more special.

9 months before my wedding I contacted Loretta to hire her to officiate. Over the next 9 months we…read morewere in contact three more times to confirm the chosen vows, time and place of wedding. On the day of my wedding, Loretta was no where to be found. About 10 minutes after the ceremony was to begin, I called her cell phone to ask her where she was. She responded that she was just coming out of a meeting and stated that my wedding was not on her calendar. She said that she needed to get dressed and would be there in approximately 1/2 hour. That would have delayed my wedding by over 40 minutes with all of my guests waiting. Fortunately, a wedding guest who was ordained and could perform the ceremony was available. I called Loretta back to let her know her services would not be required. At no time did Loretta take responsibility or apologize for her scheduling error. This could have absolutely ruined my wedding.

Emee was an essential part of our wedding planning and execution, start to finish-- she paved the…read moreway to creating the best weekend of our lives. We wanted an event that brought our community and family together to celebrate love, bikes, and camping in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and it felt like Emee truly understood what was important to us from the start. There were so many tiny details she caught and helped us navigate. I particularly appreciated her calm support when we had a potential catering issue just three days before the wedding. She talked me off the ledge of worry and was willing to think through a full backup plan with me, before the issue resolved on its own. There were countless other instances of Emee handling things on the day of the wedding that let me, my husband, and our family just enjoy our time together. Thank you Emee, we saw your tireless effort to pull this event off for us, and we are so grateful for all of your work!

They were thorough, prompt, professional, and good at creatively solving problems as they arose. I would recommend EJP Events to anyone who is planning a large event - the experience was wonderful and my staff colleagues, supporters, and donors were all very impressed with the quality of our event. Emee and her team had great staffing at the event and skillfully coordinated all of our many shifting logistics for months leading up to the event. When we encountered obstacles, they handled them. When we needed to make changes, they cheerfully accommodated them. EJP has a "Can-do" attitude and they're both pragmatic and realistic about setting expectations while finding a way to get everything done. I'm so glad that we worked with EJP and they're at the top of my list for event planning in the future.
